The Australian National University is unique among its contemporaries as the only Australian university established by an Act of Federal Parliament, in 1946. It is also one of Australia’s most research-intensive universities, with a high ratio of academic staff to students. The University campus has over 200 buildings and occupies 145 hectares adjacent to the city centre of Canberra. The University commands a magnificent position between lake and mountains in the centre of the nation's capital. It is the political apex of Australia, housing the Federal Parliament. It is the major city of the self-governing province, the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). The University also has smaller campuses: - Mt Stromlo Observatory (west of Canberra)
- Siding Spring Observatory (near Coonabarabran, western NSW)
- North Australia Research Unit (Darwin, Northern Territory)
- Kioloa (coastal campus near Bawley Point, on the NSW South Coast).
